Are you experiencing #Rose black spot on your roses?

Rose black spot is rarely a killer disease; it just disfigures. Remove affected leaves and flowers, and put in the green waste bin for professional composting.

To reduce future infections, always pick up and remove fallen leaves – the fungi spores will overwinter in them. #fridaytip #roses #blackspot ... See more

Our members experiments plants have all been planted out now and are enjoying all of the hot weather! ☀

In our display bed of plants with novel uses, the flax is producing a multitude of blue flowers, and our dye plants, #weld, #woad, #coreopsis and #madder are all thriving.

The #tomatillos are flowering and starting to produce fruits too.

The Blooms for Bees #dahlias have now started flowering. The purple variety flowered first, followed by red and then white.

We were joined this week by our Coventry Master Composters, delivered in partnership with Coventry City Council for an evening of DIY Wormeries.

Our group set to work making their very own wormery and were delighted with the results!

We think worms are a fantastic little army to help with your worm composting, creating a dark, crumbly compost, from your kitchen and garden waste!

If you're keen to learn more about worm composting then join us for our half-day Wonderful Wormeries course and discover how to introduce this resource into your garden and even your home! ... See more

Happy #summersolstice ☀ what do you have planned for the longest day? #sunshine #gardening #happy

Are your #plants a little thirsty? Follow our golden rules on how to use #water more efficiently in the #garden

Build up your soil with organic matter (compost, garden waste) which will help the soil structure to retain moisture. Especially if you have light sandy soil.

It was great to see family carers enjoying the beautiful surroundings at Ryton Organic Gardens last week as part of our Thyme To Be project.

Our group enjoyed harvesting salad which they had sown and loved making their very own organic bath bombs!

100% of those who attended would recommend Thyme To Be, so if you know someone who would benefit from these sessions, then please let them know about us.

Sessions are running every month until September 🌿 ... See more

Thompson 'helping' us plant out yacon - and our new Real Seeds t-shirts in action on the field.

Lovely trip at the weekend - talking about seeds at the River Cottage spring food fair, and fitting in a visit to Trill Farm Garden who grow some seed crops for us amongst their salads and other veggies.
The photos show Giant Limousin turnips setting seed in one of the Trill tunnels, Ohnivec chillies, and a view of Trill Farm Garden. ... See more

It arrived! Real Seeds' new seed threshing machine has been delivered from Italy 🙂

A nice picture of Manchester Table carrot in the tunnel, just starting to flower. These were grown last year, selected for size and shape, then replanted. Ready for harvest this summer, the seed will then be threshed, dried, tested and packed ready to grow next year. ... See more
